Conspiracy theory

I would like to add my voice to those calling for AP to find ways to increase participation in the APOY contest. As someone who has entered the competition for the past few years and always done poorly, I took comfort in the past from the belief that my photographs were simply swamped in the vast numbers of entries. This year as I do poorly both in the public vote and the critics' views, it leaves me with nowhere to hide from the truth.

Now of course, I realise that this year's contest demonstrates that the public are incapable of recognising towering genius, and that the critics are in the pocket of the mirrorless camera lobby and clearly members of the Illuminati, conspiring to cheat me of success.
